Good news! I get to keep my job! haha

Bad news! I left my camera with all the pictures from last night etc at work

Good news! The bisimoto camshaft is 100% installed and the car has a nice little tune going on.

Bad news! I didn't get to sleep until about 4:45am. Almost was late to work!

--The cam is awesome. I definitely felt a little more pull in the higher rpms, nothing too crazy of a difference, but it's there. The cam came with a cool license plate frame, too

Sealing the tails should be finished tonight. I might install them if I feel like it, and if the rain stops.

 

Grrrrr... Rain. I hate it.

 

Ok, got some pictures for yous guys.

First off, here's is the cold gold stuff from Mishimoto installed on my intake. I am not a fan of it at all, so it will be removed once Mishimoto is done with it. That wire you see in the pipe is my IAT sensor sitting in the intake pipe. It was removed from the back of the IM and put in there to see if the intake temps would change.



This is what I just got done doing at work on a R35 GTR radiator. Came out pretty nice IMO.





Got my Velocity stack in a few days ago, too. The thing next to it is the MAF adaptor I'll be using for the intake ducting.



The Bisimoto camshaft came in and like I said before, it was installed immediately.





Top = Crower; Bottom = Bisimoto



Installing the Bisi cam:



Who says Haynes manuals are worthless? They obviously haven't look into using it the right way!



I'll be snapping pics of the Crower camshaft tonight hopefully so I can update my FS thread ASAP.

The tail lights I got in fit horribly, I am in the process of making new holes in the tail light housings so that they will fit properly.

Got my headlights in today, but the fogs weren't included. I am waiting on a response from the seller as to why they were not included together (it was an auction for headlight/fog light combo and I only received one tracking number)

Lastly, I spoke with my paint guy again today. He is going to spray a couple different shades of white for me to see what I like best before he goes ahead and orders the paint. We are hoping to have my car in his shop next weekend for the body work to be done! woot!

 

Anyone have an Integra steering rack? I need one as my steering rack failed inspection (as well as inner tie rods, and front brake pads). I found out that the Integra rack has a 3.2 LTL ratio while the EK Civic P/S rack is a 4.0 LTL ratio. So I'll be doing a quick ratio type conversion thing.

Other news, I got my headlights baked apart in order to paint. Something "special" (if you want to call it that) is in store for them. I'll hope to get them painted and all done by the end of the week.

Lastly, picked up 2 quarts of Honda MTF, and a new Dizzy O-Ring.

Oh yea..... still waiting on the clutch to arrive

 

After a bunch of research, I found out that in order to run the Teg rack, I would most likely need to convert to an EG subframe, and then get an EG front sway bar. Oh wells, looks like I will just get an EK rack. No biggie.

Installed the Dizzy O ring yesterday, went smoothly and I was done in about 15 minutes.

E-mailed the seller about the clutch, hoping this comes in soon. I feel like I am playing with fire right now and praying it (OEM clutch) does not die on me.

Headlight housings have been painted. Also, I ordered a new cluster since the one I bought was a d@mn good deal and I have plans for the OEM one I have now.

Ordering a new steering rack and inner tie rods most likely tomorrow night.

Lastly, after getting these repairs done to get the inspection sticker, I will not have enough money to paint the car and fix the dents. So, paint will be put on hold until at least June. I will end up doing a couple little things here and there, but mainly saving up a little more before pulling the trigger on painting.

 

Been so busy recently trying to get things ready for the re-inspection for Saturday.

Steering rack was replaced two nights ago. We started at 9 pm, and finished at 3 am. Hooray for almost no sleep before work! Glad it is over and done with though. I can definitely feel a difference.

Picked up some ceramic brake pads, and oem rotors last night, they will be installed tomorrow night.

The eBay seller is being really cool with this headlight/fog light issue. At first, I didn't receive the fogs, e-mail was sent, and they re-shipped them. Received it a few days ago, only to find that the plastic bezels are cracked. Good job UPS...again you f@ck up another shipment. There was styro foam (sp?) backing and everything protecting the plastic pieces, but the foam was cracked/broken in a bunch of pieces, the box was dented/ripped/wrinkled, and the "fragile" sticker was basically hanging off the box. E-mailed the seller, they issued me a call tag to return it. I am now waiting on another set to be sent.

Clutch still hasnt come in. Ebay and paypal claims have been opened.

My valvetrain has been making excessive noise recently, so I'll be pulling off the valve cover this weekend, getting a new VC gasket, and checking the valve lash.

Tail lights will be going in tonight. I'll try to snap some before and after pics to show you all how bad the stock ones were.

 

That radiator you did with the tape looks hella sweet.

Your noisy valves reminds me I have to lash my valves too. My chatter so bad, when I rev it up to 3k and hold it they are so noisy!

 

Well, mostly the noise is coming from the Bisi cam, but I have one of those stethoscopes that has a metal rod on the end so i can hear the chatter. The noise seems to be coming from cylinder 1 or 2, exhaust side.

A video of the idle will be in the works sooner or later.

 

Pics of the tails. The inner driver side sticks out a little, so I'll have to mess with it a little bit more whenever I get a chance.

Stock tails... Dirty, the white reflector housing in the reverse light section is all gone, making them look sh!tty IMO.



New tails.. the outer tails are white as well, just the lighting sucked for some reason.

 

Where are the headlight pics at?
